Our aim is to provide historical and contemporary insights from some of the most important observers and practitioners from both sides of the Atlantic and beyond – leaders in government, foreign policy institutions, business, media and the academy. The wide range of subjects that we will explore includes aspects of international law, transatlantic relations, security and conflict, national sovereignty, the European Union, international development, trade and business, democratic movements, technology and social media, trafficking and slavery, authoritarian states and human rights, including those of minorities. We will also examine the role of non-governmental organizations, pressure groups and a variety of domestic constituencies in the formulation of foreign policy. Questions about diversity and pluralism will intersect in these discussions with unusual frequency throughout the program. We will explore diversity in a broad sense – diversity of peoples, ideas, values, institutions and practices. We will discuss the formation and practice of foreign policy by a diverse cadre of institutions, groups and individuals and the impact of national and foreign policy on pluralistic societies. Embarking on this program, Humanity in Action has specific goals: to make our societies more effective and constructive in addressing global issues; to increase the representation of minorities in international fields; to recognize the power and dignity in diversity based upon different cultural and historical perspectives; to appreciate the importance of pluralism as it intersects and sometimes even drives international issues; and to expand perspectives in graduate programs and research communities to include issues of diversity and pluralism in the consideration of international affairs. We are very grateful to our many speakers in Washington, Berlin, Paris and The Hague and to those institutions and individuals hosting us. With thanks, Judith S. Goldstein, Ph.D. Founder and Executive Director Humanity in Action ! 2 2015 DIPLOMACY AND DIVERSITY ! About the Fellowship In 2014, Humanity in Action launched the Diplomacy and Diversity Fellowship, a new transatlantic educational program for graduate students about international relations and global diversity. In this program, a group of 24 American and European Fellows engage in an intense and demanding series of high-level seminars, discussions and site visits to explore a wide range of international issues with particular emphasis on democracy, diversity and pluralism. The 2015 fellowship will take place in Washington, Paris and Berlin. It will conclude in The Hague at the Sixth Annual Humanity in Action International Conference. In the United States, Germany, France and the Netherlands, the Fellows will meet with experts and practitioners at governmental agencies, international NGOs, universities, think tanks, media outlets and foreign policy organizations. The Council on Foreign Relations will host and organize multiple sessions in Washington focused on building skills, networks and knowledge for foreign policy careers. The program will take place from May 29 – June 28, 2015. VISION Foreign policy is no longer the sole domain of national governments and heads of state. CEOs, local governments, journalists, think tanks, NGOs, lobbyists and online activists increasingly play influential roles in international negotiations and initiatives. Foreign policy is also becoming more influenced by national pluralism and the interests of diverse sets of domestic groups. Thus, the Diplomacy and Diversity Fellowship will explore diversity in the broadest sense—diversity of peoples, ideas, values, institutions and practices in international relations. Humanity in Action believes that this diversification of players in international affairs and the interests they pursue create the need for leaders from diverse backgrounds who are able to approach global challenges in innovative ways. Humanity in Action seeks to cultivate leadership skills and knowledge in the Diplomacy and Diversity Fellows—a new group of emerging leaders who have the knowledge, creativity and ability to collaborate across borders and sectors in changing international communities. The guiding mission of the Diplomacy and Diversity Fellowship is to increase understanding of pluralistic societies, awareness of the importance of diversity in diplomatic and other international fields, and the inclusion of those from minority backgrounds in international relations. APPROACH In the 2015 Diplomacy and Diversity Fellowship, participants will discuss and research a wide range of subjects including, but not limited to, democracy in a domestic and international perspective; the influence of non-state actors— including business, non-profit organizations and interest groups—in foreign affairs; the role of Germany in European politics and international relations; conflict and national security; and migration and asylum. ! 2015 DIPLOMACY AND DIVERSITY 3 The Fellows will explore these subjects from national, transatlantic and international vantage points while also evaluating the ways in which history impacts contemporary policy. The program’s sessions will introduce Fellows to both foreign policy experts and practitioners who will provide conceptual and theoretical perspectives as well as networking opportunities. HUMANITY IN ACTION Humanity in Action is an international organization that educates, inspires and connects a global network of established and emerging leaders committed to promoting human rights, diversity and active citizenship—in their own communities and around the world. Humanity in Action organizes educational and professional programs in Europe and the United States. Humanity in Action’s offices are located in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and the United States. ! 4 2015 DIPLOMACY AND DIVERSITY !

    Compte rendu Mercredi 10 février 2016 Commission Séance de 17 heures des affaires économiques Compte rendu n° 48 – Audition de M. Mark Hutchinson, président de General Electric Europe et de General Electric France ......................... 2 SESSION ORDINAIRE DE 2015-2016 Présidence Mme Frédérique Massat, Présidente — 2 — La commission a auditionné M. Mark Hutchinson, président de General Electric Europe et de General Electric France. Mme la présidente Frédérique Massat. Je vous remercie, monsieur Hutchinson, d’avoir répondu à notre invitation. Nous souhaitons vous entendre évoquer l’actualité de General Electric France, que vous dirigez en ce moment. Notre commission a suivi de près le rachat des activités Énergie d’Alstom par General Electric, depuis le début du processus. Ainsi avons-nous auditionné, en mai 2014, M. Christophe de Maistre, président directeur général de Siemens France, et M. Jeffrey Immelt, président directeur général de General Electric, deux candidats au rachat des activités Énergie d’Alstom. Puis, le 11 mars 2015, nous avons entendu M. Patrick Kron, président directeur général du groupe Alstom, et M. Jérôme Pécresse, président d’Alstom Renewable Power et vice-président exécutif d’Alstom ; Mme Clara Gaymard, présidente de General Electric France, et vous-même, qui étiez chargé de l’intégration des actifs Énergie d’Alstom au sein de General Electric ; M. Emmanuel Macron, ministre de l’économie, de l’industrie et du numérique ; M. Régis Turrini, directeur général de l’Agence des participations de l’État, et M. Pascal Faure, directeur général des entreprises au même ministère. Le 17 mars 2015, une table ronde a été organisée avec les organisations syndicales d’Alstom, au cours de laquelle les représentants syndicaux ont dénoncé le manque de concertation et un accès tardif au dossier.

  • Marque France » Participe D’Un Univers Culturel Attractif À L’Étranger Mais Jusqu’À Présent Elle N’Est Pas Pensée Ni Promue En Tant Que Telle
    Ministère du Ministère du Ministère de Ministère délégué, chargé des PME, Commerce extérieur Redressement l’Artisanat, du de l’Innovation et de l’Economie productif Commerce et du numérique Tourisme Monsieur Philippe LENTSCHENER Président Directeur Général MacCann 69, Bd du Général Leclerc 92583 Clichy Monsieur, Le Président de la République a fait du redressement productif l’un des objectifs majeurs du quinquennat. La situation de notre pays, plongé comme l’ensemble des nations d’Europe dans une crise sans précédent, est particulièrement préoccupante. En dix ans à peine, notre industrie a perdu 750.000 emplois, notre balance commerciale est déficitaire de 73 Mds€ et le chômage atteint des niveaux historiques. Le redressement de notre économie est un impératif national qui requiert la mobilisation de tous pour surmonter nos handicaps et renforcer nos atouts. Tout ce qui peut concourir à améliorer la compétitivité de nos entreprises, l’attractivité de notre territoire, la notoriété de nos produits agricoles et manufacturés, la qualité de nos services, l’image de notre industrie, notre capacité d’innovation bref, la réputation et le dynamisme de notre économie doit être mobilisé sans délai. Les stratégies de « marque pays » inaugurées par certains de nos voisins, peuvent être des outils fédérateurs au service de la compétitivité des entreprises. L’image d’un pays est à la fois un actif et un passif, matériel et immatériel, qui se rattache à une nation et affecte la perception que l’on a de sa population, de ses territoires, de ses produits, de ses savoirs et de ses savoir-faire. Elle agit ainsi sur les comportements de consommation, d’investissement, de production, de localisation, d’innovation… La « marque France » participe d’un univers culturel attractif à l’étranger mais jusqu’à présent elle n’est pas pensée ni promue en tant que telle.

  • New Prosperities Conference Sciences Po, 27 Rue St Guillaume, 75007 Paris December 3, 2019
    ________ New Prosperities Conference Sciences Po, 27 rue St Guillaume, 75007 Paris December 3, 2019 Regenerating the economic and financial system, creating the conditions for a new Renaissance in society, recasting the foundations of Europe… ‘When danger grows, grows also that which saves’ - Hölderlin ________ 1. OVERVIEW Many believe that it is only through the combination of liberal democracy and financial capitalism that the wheels of global prosperity will turn. In 2008, we witnessed the shortcomings of this (mis)assumption, as a dramatic crisis unfolded for the world financial system and for the United States in particular (per Jean Tirole). Yet, much of the status quo thinking that brought about the 2008 crisis still prevails: society and the environment are in service of the economy, which is in service of finance, which in turn is in service of itself. If globalization and increased trade have created an emergent middle class across the world, the excesses of the relentless pursuit by business of profit maXimization for shareholders have led to widening inequalities, public mistrust, and environmental degradation. Meanwhile, the fires of multilateralism are slowly being eXtinguished by movements promoting seclusion, populism, national pride, and protectionism. These are mainly fueled by fear - of others (migrant crisis); of the evolution of work resulting from the so-called “Fourth Industrial Revolution;” of the decline of the ‘middle class.’ There is an eminent “risk of [the] defeat of democracy,” says noted French anthropologist Maurice Godelier. Gathering together to discuss new forms of prosperity, the prospects of a new Renaissance, and reconciliation between business, society, and nature may seem out of step within such a changed context.
